access to user's resources in RB?

[davos1]

Hi, I have some questions,

It is pointing about what google has public say how they are using chrome in the users equipment...

1)how to make a download of a file from the server to my remote pc? (not cookies)
2)how to read those file from my remote pc to the server?
if 1 and 2 are not possible:

3)when using the sql :mem: is it possible to store or create and share it from the my remote pc? as example create a sql :mem db in users memory and share that info the the sql mem in the servers.. like multiprocessing?

what google is getting with chrome, as they announced is the ability to use the users resources like cpu, memory, hd,... for their "purposes"....

if we could get read/write to the users computer then we could get RB's massive clustering ;D

it it possible to access user's resources in RB?

thanks a lot

Just put the file into the public folder and give the user a link to it. Do you mean something else?

It almost sounds like he's describing something along the lines of ActiveX, wich would be really neat!

Carl,

yes, something else...
maybe I am missing something, without having to install rb in server and customers computer:

the DefaultDir$ points to the directory where RB server is hosted...
1)I would like to use RB to run a program in the server which opens for read/write a file in the customer's computer directly.
how to do it?
2)is it possible to use some memory of the user's computer when running and RB application?
-maybe by executing that file that was stored in users computer?

the case is for a big program in the RB server that could be run in subprocess or by parts in the customers computers.

;D RB.grid?,
well, thinking...maybe it could be done with rb in each computer....

Davos,

What you are describing is client side. RB is a server side language wich means it runs on the server. What you need is a client side language like VBScript. Client side apps run in the users browser.

docs.rinet.ru/ActiveVB/

this site does a pretty good job of explaining it all. Good Luck!
